The Accessibility Tools Framework (ACTF) is an incubation phase project that is a subproject of the Eclipse Technology Project.
ACTF is a framework that serves as an extensible infrastructure upon which developers can build a variety of utilities
that help to evaluate and enhance the accessibility of applications and content for people with disabilities.
A collection of example utilities will also be provided which were created on top of the framework such as compliance validation tools,
assistive technology simulation applications, usability visualization tools, unit-testing utilities, and alternative accessible interfaces for applications.

Ramp Down

For M7, we plan to be functionally complete. After RC1 is released, builds will be produced weekly until the release.
In the RC phase only bugs marked P2 or higher or severity major or higher will be fixed.
APIs will not change except to address critical issues, until RC3, at which point APIs will be frozen.

ACTF Visualization part has been designed as building blocks for RCP applications.
In this release, we start to support new accessibility guidelines, such as WCAG 2.0.
We will also improve coverage of documentation and usability of user interfaces.

Support for new accessibility guidelines

Provide support for new accessibility guidelines, such as WCAG 2.0.

Improvements of documentation and user interfaces

Provide more documentation for both of developers and users, and improve usability of user interfaces.

Advance integration

In previous release, we integrated these features into Eclipse platform.
We will advance the integration more in this release.
